England vs Wales

Jenkins has had to settle for a place on the bench in each of Wales' Six Nations games so far with Scarlets prop Rob Evans emerging as Gatland's first-choice loosehead.

Cardiff Blues skipper Jenkins has battled calf problems for a long time though his most recent strain didn't stop him appearing off the bench at the Principality Stadium last Friday.

Gatland said after that game Jenkins could be out for a number of weeks though Wales haven't ruled him out of appearing against the Red Rose outfit.

McBryde was keen to emphasise the support of the Wales medical team adding: “The term Lazarus has been mentioned in terms of Dan Biggar and his return to fitness.

“With the medical team we have at the moment anything is possible.

“Gethin's had quite a bit of trouble with his calves. It's testament to him that he's lasted as long as he has. From Gethin's point of view it's frustrating he's done as much as he has to avoid it happening again but unfortunately it's reoccurred.

“Because he's so familiar with the injury he's more than aware of what he needs to do to get back fit.

“He knows how hard to push himself and I guess he knows the exercises better than the physio.

“It's frustrating for me and that was evident in his face at the end of the day.”
